Who This Is For
The Safariland SL 032 ELS Competition Belt is ideal for USPSA, IDPA, and 3-Gun competitors who need a modular, reconfigurable rig that adapts quickly between stages or match formats.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pouches and holsters are compatible with the SL 032 ELS Competition Belt?
The SL 032 ELS Competition Belt is designed to work with any Safariland product fitted with the ELS 34 Fork, including a wide range of Safariland holsters, magazine pouches, and accessory carriers. To mount accessories, you'll also need ELS 35 Receiver Plates, which attach through the belt's pre-cut holes and lock the ELS 34 Fork securely in place. Both components are sold separately and are widely available through Safariland dealers.
How does the ELS system work, and how fast can I swap gear?
The Safariland Equipment Locking System uses a fork-and-plate mechanism: the ELS 34 Fork (mounted to your holster or pouch) clicks into the ELS 35 Receiver Plate (attached to the belt) with a secure positive lock. To detach, you simply press the release and pull — the entire process takes under a second. This makes mid-match equipment changes or transitioning between different stage setups extremely fast without any tools required.
How do I choose the right belt size for the SL 032 ELS Competition Belt?
Safariland ELS Competition Belts are typically sized to match your pant waist size or slightly larger to account for the outer belt fitting over an inner belt if used in a two-belt system. The 38" size is generally appropriate for waist measurements in the 36"–38" range, but it's recommended to measure your actual waist where the belt will sit and compare to Safariland's current sizing chart for the most accurate fit.
